Superman: Legacy Adds Nathan Fillion & Two Others

Three more actors have been added to the cast of Superman: Legacy.

With today being exactly two years from the planned release date of Superman: Legacy, Vanity Fair has the scoop on who will be in three more roles in the highly-anticipated James Gunn film.

The first of the three roles is that of the most obnoxious Green Lantern, Guy Gardner. Nathan Fillion, who has worked with James Gunn in The Suicide Squad and with small roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, has landed the role. Fillion is best known, of course, for his leading roles in Castle, Firefly and The Rookie; some interesting trivia is that he played the Green Lantern Hal Jordan in a direct-to-DVD animated film a few years back.

But that’s not all: Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) will be playing Hawkgirl and Edi Gathegi (Twilight, X-Men: First Class) will be Michael Holt a.k.a. Mister Terrific. (The use of Mister Terrific in other media might confirm why Echo Kellum’s Arrow character was “Curtis Holt” instead).

One additional thought: Is the use of characters who have always been with DC a sign that The Authority might not be showing up in this film after all? Especially with the inclusion of Hawkgirl, who is very similar to the Authority character Swift… we shall see.

You can read the original Vanity Fair report here. Superman: Legacy starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan is due out in 2025.

The New Superman Movie Shoots A Super Cameo

Someone with extensive Superman ties has apparently filmed a cameo for James Gunn’s new film.

Filming is underway on the new Superman film from James Gunn in Cleveland, Ohio — if you’ve been following @KryptonSite on Twitter/X, you’ve likely seen a lot of photos from the shooting — and today, news broke that someone quite super has apparently visited the set and filmed a cameo.

Will Reeve is a correspondent for Good Morning America but his biggest relevance to Superman fans is that he is the 32-year-old son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve. Christopher Reeve, of course, is the iconic actor who starred as Clark Kent and Superman in four films. From set photos, it appears that he filmed a cameo as a reporter in the movie.. a reporter in a Superman project… just like his Super dad.

Christopher Reeve died in October 2004. In 1995, he had a tragic horseback riding accident that resulted in paralysis. Despite these challenges, Reeve powered ahead and had hope — a lesson we could all learn from Superman. You can see some photo evidence of Will’s visit below. And of course, now we are going to wonder what other cameos we have to look forward to in the film. The Reeve franchise’s Jimmy Olsen, Marc McClure, is still with us, after all, as is Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) though he is retired from acting. James Gunn also happens to be friends with history’s most beloved Lex Luthor actor (Michael Rosenbaum) so really, anything is possible!

James Gunn’s Superman Casts Cat Grant & Ron Troupe

James Gunn’s new Superman film has found its Cat Grant and Ron Troupe

The cast of James Gunn’s 2025 Superman film has grown with a few cool cats from the Daily Planet troupe.

Today, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the casting of Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant and Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe. Do note that the Christopher McDonald in question is a newcomer and not the white actor named Christopher McDonald you are thinking of. You can see a picture of him to your right.

Most people who read this site already know a lot about Cat Grant, whether it’s Calista Flockhart’s pitch-perfect performance as the gossip columnist on Supergirl, Tracy Scoggins’ sultry Cat on Lois & Clark, or even Keri Lynn Pratt’s incredibly annoying Smallville version. Cat Grant is also a fun part of the recent My Adventures with Superman cartoon. She first appeared in Adventures of Superman comics by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway. Mikaela Hoover has been seen in James Gunn’s productions before, with small roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad.

Ron Troupe is most famous in the comics for being married to Lucy Lane for a time. He’s mostly been seen in animation though we’ve seen him in a few minor live action spots. He, too, was co-created by Jerry Ordway with artist Tom Grummett.

This casting news comes days after SNL’s Beck Bennett was announced as playing sports guy Steve Lombard. Superman is currently filming, set to fly in theaters July 11, 2025.

The first official picture of David Corenswet in costume as Superman is finally here.

Director James Gunn’s new Superman movie itself might not be out until July of 2025, but fans today got their first look at Corenswet wearing the costume after an “S” reveal happened a few months back. The “S” is inspired by the design from Alex Ross in the Kingdom Come comic book series, and the suit itself looks to be less colorful than expected, but still very solid. And… are those underpants on the outside that we see? We can’t wait to see this in action!

Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and more. It is expected to release to theaters July 11, 2025.
